Rustic Caramelized Onion Galette

Rustic Caramelized Onion Galette by Stacey Snacks

This is a wonderful galette made by the Tart Queen (that would be me).I like the free form shape of this, no tart pan needed.You can caramelize your onions the day before, and make the galette dough and freeze it ahead if you wish.Once you get those 2 chores out of the way, you are home free.I found this recipe on Simply Recipes and I…

Little Shrimp Casseroles by Stacey Snacks

I have no idea why it has taken me almost 2 years to post this, because I make it all the time.The recipe is based loosely from Jacques Pepin's book Fast Food My Way, and it is so simple.It's like a scampi without the lemon.The original recipe calls for mushrooms, but the man of the house detests the beautiful little funghi, so I…

What's for Dinner? Stuffed Chicken Breasts by Stacey Snacks

You know I am bored when I stuff chicken breasts.You can take boring, bland boneless breasts and turn them into something wonderful!Spinach or asparagus is a good choice for fillings, and for cheeses, choose a mozzarella, provolone, or feta.You're in charge.Flatten your chicken breasts and spread them open with your hand on a cutting…

Tortilla Espanola by Stacey Snacks

It is much like an Italian frittata, except you make a tortilla on the stove and with potatoes, as opposed to a frittata which is baked in the oven.I think I will get better at it with practice.Though the ingredients are…

Greek Yogurt Stuffed Dates by Stacey Snacks

When I was catering luncheons, back in the day, this was my most popular hors d'oevres.My original stuffed date recipe calls for mascarpone cheese mixed w/ a bit of maple syrup, sprinkled with crushed pistachios. It is very sweet and rich and is good served for dessert w/ black coffee.Well, these days, since I am more prone to…
